Quality and Flexibility Assured
Villa’s philosophy has always been to provide quality
products at competitive prices, resulting in strict quality
standards and procedures being part of the standard company
systems. This has been a cornerstone of the company’s
development over many years by making sure that all
products are produced to meet market trends and customer
needs, and this has resulted in Villa receiving many
accolades in recent years.
Villa has EFSIS Grade B accreditation (British Retail Consortium Equivalent) and is also approved for supply to the National Health Service.
Villa’s extensive production capabilities can offer a wide range of packaging including standard paper labelling, plastic labels and metallised labels in numerous sizes and formats in PET, sports caps, multi pack in printed shrinkwrap. Since the investment in 1999 in sleeving equipment, which when installed was the fastest on-line sleeving facility in the UK Soft Drinks Industry, Villa can now offer fully sleeved bottles in addition to the normal standard formats.
Villa has a fully automated CIP system and all production equipment is fully CIP'able. The syrup room uses a computerised recipe system incorporating checkweighing of ingredients for recipe accuracy and bar code scanning for full traceability of ingredients. The factory operates an in-house quality system based on ISO 9001:2000.
All products are distributed nationwide using approved contract hauliers. Computerised systems are used to keep track of order status and are linked to the company’s manufacturing systems to ensure customers’ requirements are met in a planned and orderly environment.
Villa has a sister company ( Bottling Solutions (NE) Ltd based in Eaglescliffe) which can offer glass production facilities if needed.
